>>56461396>more irrelevant hindsight bias nonsense ignoring the reality at the time>there was 6 months before Nintendo looked to get an anime running and a year and a quarter before they got it out.Plenty of time. And years of development for R/G before that. Yes, Charizard quickly proved to be a fan favorite. No, it wasn't the starter Game Freak thought of first.
> It's hilarious how you shudoniggers think every 'tarded idea he put on his blog was a potentialityThat's not some random Shudo rambling, though, that's finalized promotional artwork that was meant to represent Ash's team during the league. If there wasn't a consensus about it at some point, the image would never have been drawn in the first place. It's more like the Rocket vs Plasma arc in how it was intended at first, but ended up being written out after a hiatus caused by a disaster made them re-analyze how to handle the series and rewrite things. It's common knowledge that the series was going to have a one and a half year long run initially, so obviously, some things were going to be written differently before they decided to make it a never-ending series.
Also, Charizard has always been my favorite out of the gen 1 starters, I'm just analyzing what the original intent of the authors was based on the early material. God knows the zoomers going "hurr sneaky stones" are cancer.
